A woman has been apprehended by the the Nigerian police in Delta State for her alleged participation in the sale of AK-47 bullets.
The arrest took place during a raid on her property in Effurun Roundabout, Uvwie Local Government Area. The police spokesperson, DSP Bright Edafe, stated that the arrest was made based on credible information received about the suspect’s involvement in illicit activities.
Edafe noted that, “Following an actionable intelligence gathered on May 18 about a woman who deals on illegal sale of AK-47 ammunition, operatives raided the premises of the suspect located close to Effurun Roundabout.
“During the raid, 100 rounds of 7.62mm live ammunition were recovered from the lady. Investigation in the matter is on-going,’’
In a separate incident, according to Edafe, the police made a significant recovery of a Lexus SUV and a battle axe. The items were found during a stop-and-search operation conducted by the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) in Oworigbala Community, along the Okpara-Oworh Road in Ughelli. It is worth noting that the suspect linked to these recovered items is currently evading arrest.
“The operatives, while conducting stop-and-search, flagged down a Lexus RS 350 with Registration Number: RBC 811 CY; the driver suspiciously offered the operatives money which they rejected.
“The driver immediately zoomed off. On noticing that the RRS operatives were closing in on him, he quickly abandoned the vehicle and escaped into a nearby bush,’’ he noted.
